Elsie has been working on riding her bike without training wheels. She did it for the first time on May 13th, but I didn't get it posted then. Here are some videos from May and again from last Friday. Alstan just got a new skateboard, so he has been working on mastering that.
The kids and a neighbor boy set up a lemonade stand on the Fourth of July. They had it set up so they could to sell to people on the way to and from the 4th of July parade. With their proceeds Alstan and Elsie chose to help causes they are passionate about. Alstan donated his money to the animal conservation effort through the San Diego Zoo, and Elsie donated hers to the Children’s Hospital in Madison.
